Dental Night Guards in North York, Ontario

If you frequently wake up with a sore jaw or migraines, there’s a chance you may be suffering from bruxism. Bruxism is a common condition that occurs when a person grinds or clenches their teeth while sleeping. The chronic nighttime grinding and clenching places excessive amounts of stress and pressure on your TMJ joints and surrounding muscles. As a result, this can wear down your teeth and lead to painful, uncomfortable symptoms for your jaw, face, neck, and surrounding areas.

One of the best ways to prevent this is with a nightguard which is a small oral appliance that is worn while you sleep. A nightguard alleviates pressure from your jaw, allowing you to enjoy a better night’s sleep. The appliance also protects your teeth from clenching and grinding, which ensures they don’t become worn down over time.

A nightguard is small enough that it won’t bother your gag reflex. Each nightguard is custom-made according to your mouth’s specific measurements are so comfortable and easy to wear. If you’re looking for an easy, effective, and natural solution to combat bruxism, contactPark Home Dental today.
